I felt very much in the head of Penny, and it was hard to watch her keep making the wrong moves and not see the obvious in front of her. I loved the funny banter and if anyone ever wanted a study into what it feels like to chronically overthink or have anxiety (without being too bleak), I would steer them in the direction of this book. I listened to it as an audiobook and it was very well performed, it was like I was listening to a friend and I wasn't bored or overwhelmed like her friends were.
